When Darkness Blooms
Greetings, from the heart of darkness, a flower blooms.
A woman with hair made of poetry and dreams
stands among the ruins;
where black, merciless crows
circle above, seeking to destroy her nest.
But somewhere else, an angel has arrived
to be her light—
a reminder that even in the deepest darkness,
hope still exists.
A beautiful child stands among the fallen bricks,
a witness to a world
the grown-ups have torn apart;
while a butterfly rests upon the woman’s hair,
like a quiet promise of rebirth.
Perhaps a nest can be destroyed,
but a soul can never be robbed of its ability to fly.
Sometimes the world grows dark
so you can shine your own light upon it.
